“The club is very ambitious and I would like to think I am as well, so I am excited.”

Town trio Cole Skuse, Dean Gerken and Jordan Spence all previously played at Ashton Gate, with Webster saying: “I spoke to all three of them and they had nothing but positive things to say about the club and the city so it was a no-brainer.

“Obviously it’s a difficult division, there’s not an easy game, so it will be important to get a good pre-season under my belt and crack on from there.

“As a defender I will first and foremost be looking to keep clean sheets but on the other hand I like to bring the ball out from the back and get the play started.

“I want to play every game and both the club and myself want to get promoted to the Premier League so hopefully we can achieve that.”

Webster’s former club Portsmouth will receive 20% of the profit Town have made on the player.

The Blues gave the south coast club, then in League Two, a fee of £700k and highly-rated young defender Matt Clarke two years ago. It’s unclear whether the part-exchange part of that deal will come into play when paying out on the sell-on clause.
